Please note: This is my first fic, period. I'm going to try and make it a good one, but please bear with me. Also, I have been influenced by other writers, and may use some of the same topics, but the plot ideas are all my own. -§teph
This story takes place after the first year of Eden Hall. They will have turned sixteen.
AN: This is a realllllllly short chapter. Forgive me =)
Charlie's POV
I stood outside the door, listening intently. I couldn't believe it. Luis…gay? This was getting to be really weird. I didn't mind so much, that he liked Adam. I trusted Adam. He wouldn't do anything behind my back. I focused my attention back on their conversation.
"Wha-What?" Adam stammered.
"You heard me, Adam." Luis sighed. I heard rustling and strained to hear.
"Luis!"
"Please, Adam…you have to listen to me."
My eyes widened involuntarily as I listened. Damn, what's going on in there?
"You're making me uncomfortable." Adam replied.
"Just listen."
"Fine."
There was mumbling, and I couldn't make out what Luis was saying. I heard bits and pieces.
"I…since…Goodwill Games…don't…weird…sorry…Charlie…you…sorry…I…know…so weird."
I tried to figure it out, and I think I summed it up pretty well.
"I'm sorry Luis." Adam dragged.
"Yeah, me too." Luis sounded close to tears.
"Well…"
"Adam. Please, don't leave."
"I have to - "
"Please…"
"Luis, I have to go."
"Please!"
"I have to go."
"You're not going, please…stay."
Okay, I'd listened long enough, now I was going to defend my boyfriend! I barged in through the door, my steps almost causing the floor to tremor. Luis was sitting on Adam's bed, holding Adam by his shirtsleeve. Adam was standing up, his hand against Luis's, trying to pry him off.
Luis took one look at me, and slithered like the snake he is, back to his own bunk. Adam watched him for a minute, and the three of us exchanged glances. I advanced towards Luis. "Listen, Mendoza. He's taken."
Luis shuddered, and nodded. I didn't know I was that intimidating! "Okay…Charlie."
Adam smiled, trying to break the tension. I knew he would feel pretty awkward sharing a dorm with Luis, now. "Well, now that's settled." He concluded.
That's my Adam. Make the best of everything.
"Adam, you wanna go somewhere…else?"
"Uh, sure Charlie."
I cast Luis an angered look, and Adam and I left. Okay, we were going to tell them. It had to be soon.
"Adam…"
"Charlie…"
I loved how we both did that! We'd say each other's names at the same moment. It was so cute!
I took command. "You don't…like him, right?"
He looked amused. "Gosh, Charlie…" He pretended to hold out a mirror, and fix his hair. "…Getting fought over sure is fun."
I elbowed him, with a smile. "Really, now."
"Of course I don't like him! Puh-lease!" He was still talking in that effeminate voice, so I frankly swatted at him, and he ducked.
I smiled, cornering him. He smiled back. We were in the hallway, but it didn't matter much to me. I kissed him once. I kissed him twice. The third was coming, when I got a tap on the shoulder. Adam and I both looked to see who it was.
Goldberg was glaring at me. He didn't look pleased. "Charlie, I got a couple things to say. First off, get a room. Second off, uh…Can you help me with this trig? I don't get it at all!" He thrust his math homework in my face.
I looked at Adam, and smiled. Everyone was taking this really well, so far.
